Are you the ‘shaadi karungi toh Manish Malhotra wale lehenge mein hi karungi’ bride? Or are you the bride who swears by the good old Chandni chowk? Well, whichever category you belong to, once your dream lehenga is set, the other thing that becomes the most important is your lehenga blouse design. So here are 130 bridal blouse designs that you must check out!

1. The elegant back blouse design

When you don’t want to show too much skin and want to opt for a long lehenga blouse design, this pattern can give your back an elegant appeal as the slit totally comes in handy. Works wonders if you want to give your lehenga a modern twist.

Working out lately? Then you’ve got to show it off, girl! We absolutely love this bold inverted ‘U’ design by Anita Dongre. You need to have at least one like this in your trousseau. Keep the sleeves long to balance out the look.

3. V-shaped back blouse design

‘V’ shaped lehenga blouse patterns are great when you want to give yourself a slimmer look. Deep ‘V’s give your back an elongated and attractive look while also hiding any love handles that you may not want to show!

4. The delicate back blouse design

This is so pretty and delicate! Ditch the regular blouse back and opt for a gorgeous lace cut-out. A back like this looks extremely flattering and will go well with your sarees, lehengas and even the wedding outfit.

5. The classic round back blouse design

One can never go wrong with the classic round back. It’s the one design we see often and also the one that goes with most outfits. You could add latkans for a more ethnic look or just leave it as it is. The round back will always work wonders!

6. Classic ‘U’ back blouse design

Simple and elegant, here’s a bridal blouse design you can never go wrong with. We know you want something more dramatic for your big day, but considering your lehenga will be extremely heavy, it’s better to opt for a classic ‘U’ blouse back to avoid looking OTT. Add to it some statement latkans and you’re good to go.

7. Button-down blouse design

Button-down blouses are a major rage nowadays, but you don’t have to stick to the basics. Again, get creative just like this bride did and get some customizations done to the basic design. This way, you can get a bit of a sassy look, without having to expose much!

8. Hoop down blouse design

We personally love this design a lot! This is again a bit different from button down blouses, but falls in the same family of design. It has hoops that look oh-so-cute! The thing with this kind of blouses is that you have to get a side zip so you slip them on without any hassles.

9. The overlapping back blouse design

What is a blouse without some dori magic, and if it looks like this, then what else can somebody ask for?! This overlapping design is so unique and gorgeous! And that single dori exudes such a subtle charm! Just wow!

10. Peephole cutout back blouse design

A peephole cutout back is a super interesting style to try out as it’s not too bold but bares quite a bit. In a design like this, we suggest you keep the length of your sleeves either half or three-quarters and add interesting latkans to the strings.

11. The sexy structured back design

When we talk about a sexy back - this is the one. An absolutely unique and unexpected back design that has a structured feel to it. And unlike the other designs, this one actually stands out. Add some body chains and heavy duty accessories to bring the best out of this style.

99. The petite bride bell sleeves blouse design

Again, this style looks good if you are petite as it will add some amount to your measure. It is classic and vintage and if that's how you want your look to be like, there's no stopping you, girl.

Because you can never go wrong with a tube blouse! Opt for a heavy brocade fabric or one that matches your lehenga and get a tube blouse made. It works well for day functions and would be ideal for your mehendi. If you’re conscious of showing too much skin, just wear a cape over it!

101. Sonam-like tube blouse design

If you are the bride who is not scared of showing off, tube blouse is the sexiest kind of lehenga blouse pattern that exists. You can either choose to get one with the same fabric as your lehenga or you could get it embellished with a similar work. We simply loved how Sonam made a basic white saree become so glam with just a tube blouse.

This pretty Manish Malhotra saree worn on Jacqueline looks nothing short of a fairytale. The tube blouse with a heart-shaped neckline is as pretty as it gets. The beauty of this blouse design is that it combines boldness with loveliness. If that’s the kind of design you are looking for, you have got it.

This adorable blouse design by Manish Malhotra has to be one of our favourites. The sleeve pattern is so unique that it is sure to grab eyeballs. Its handcrafted antique gold detail is totally taken from a timeless narrative and we are in love.

105. Net full sleeves blouse design

There is a graceful poshness in opting for a full sleeved bridal blouse pattern. It is also a good choice if you are a winter bride. You can opt for net sleeves with patches of work. It won't contribute to the weight of your lehenga much while also look gorgeous.

106. Silk full sleeve blouse design

You can also opt for a full sleeved pattern that's made from the same fabric as that of your lehenga or saree. Silk or brocade full sleeve blouses look as classic as classic gets. You can also go for embroidery near the wrist, just like Vidya did.

107. The cool bride half sleeves blouse design

Half sleeved blouse pattern has made a comeback, thanks to Sabyasachi. Most of his brides lately have sleeves that extend till just above elbows. It's cool and the pattern to opt for if you think you can pull it off well. A word of caution, it can make you look more full-figured than you actually are. So, if you are looking for a blouse design that will make you look slimmer than not, this is not for you.

108. Toned arms sleeveless blouse design

Have been toning your arms lately? For most brides who sweat it out at the gym and would love to flaunt their toned body, sleeveless blouse design is the perfect option.

111. The indo-western sleeves blouse design

114. Traditional cap sleeves blouse design

Confused between sleeveless and half sleeves? Go midway. Cap sleeves have been traditionally the most common sleeve style that Indian brides opt for. They just extend a short distance from the shoulder and are perfect for the summer bride.

115. Velvet cap sleeves blouse design

We fell in love with this Sabyasachi bridal lehenga with its velvet blouse. It is unlike most of the traditional lehengas that we usually come across. The cap sleeves with zardosi detail that matches the neckline are totally stunning.

116. The classic quarter sleeves blouse design

Another classic pattern perfect for the winter bride. Quarter sleeves look graceful and posh. You could choose a silk or brocade fabric for your blouse and to add a modern tadka, go for a colour contrast.

117. Jewel it up!

If you are tired of common sleeve patterns and are looking for something that's different, you can opt for cut-out sleeves. You can choose to go for a shoulder cut out with precious Swarovski and pearl work such as this design.

120. Kimono style blouse

Are you going to have a winter wedding? A kimono style blouse wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Look at this gorgeously done embroidery with tassels on the border. Pair it up with a skirt or a solid lehenga of your choice and it's perfect for a sangeet or a mehendi function.

121. Pleats on the arms

If you don't like it ruffled on your sleeves, then go for pleats instead. This peach coloured loose fitted blouse is all things summer. Pair it up with nice embroidered dhoti pants, accessorize it well, and let your elegance do all the talking for you.

Need we say anything about the sheer sexiness of this blouse? Be the glam bride by opting for this design and rock your bridal look like a boss.

Now that you have a huge list of lehenga blouse designs to choose from, there are a few other things you need to know before you get your lehenga blouse stitched. After all, your wedding lehenga or saree is the most important outfit, and it can be nothing short of PERFECT. You plan your look for months, and go from store to store searching for ‘the One’! And, girls, what you must remember is that the awesome lehenga is incomplete if your blouse is not on point. Having the perfect lehenga with a not-so-great blouse can be quite a buzzkill. So, we give you a list of mistakes you must avoid making when getting your blouse stitched.

1. The length of the sleeves

The length of your sleeves can make all the difference to your look for the wedding. While 3/4th length or elbow-length sleeves look formal, wearing that sort of a blouse with lots of bangles is a no-no. The blouse, bangles, plus the mehendi is just going to make your arms look very cluttered.

2. No embroidery under your arms, please

This is a very common mistake made by most of us! When you’re getting your lehenga blouse stitched, brief the tailor that there should be no embroidery under your arms. It’s going to get really messy once you start to sweat. Trust us, you don’t want that itch when you’re walking down the aisle.

3. Too many tassels are a no-no!

If you’re wearing a heavy duty necklace that has tassels and you also have a dori at the back of your blouse, just snip the extra tassel hanging from your sleeves. Imagine three-four doris hanging at the back, all in different shapes and sizes. Umm, not a pretty sight, we say!

4. Avoid sequins with lighter fabrics

If you’re wearing a chiffon or a crepe saree or dupatta, make sure you’re not wearing a blouse filled with sequins or embroidery. The heavy work on the blouse will pull the threads from your saree and spoil it. Opt for a chanderi, brocade or even a kanjeevaram blouse instead. It’ll give you that glamorous look, minus the damage.

5. No front-open blouses, please!

A front-open blouse is a bad decision, ladies. No matter what you wear, a lehenga or a saree, the fastenings in front are bound to show. And you don’t want that, do you? Go for the front-open option only if you’re wearing a jacket style/ blazer style blouse.

6. Chuck the buttons

Opt for a zipper instead of buttons on your blouse, and have it stitched on one the side. It looks neat, doesn’t pop open even if you’ve eaten too much, and doesn’t get stuck anywhere. Easy, peasy, isn’t it?

7. Don’t try too hard and match everything

While you may want to match your blouse with one element from your ensemble, matching it with everything isn’t a good idea. Have an element of contrast in your blouse. It could be in the form of embroidery, just the border of your blouse or even the tassels. Make the blouse break the colour and look of the outfit, girls.

8. High neck and jewellery? Nah!

If you want to be the edgy bride and wear a high-neck/ high-collar blouse on your wedding day, please give that huge necklace a miss. Too much of anything looks bad, and if you’re going to wear jewellery on an embroidered high-neck blouse, it’s not going to work. Let some skin show, it gives a break from the bling!

9. Padded blouse fittings

A padded blouse mostly gives great shape to your breasts, but only when the pads are well placed. Make sure the positioning of the pads is right, and they are the right thickness. It shouldn’t be too thick or too thin. Ensure this before you get it stitched!

Now that you know EVERYTHING you should know about your bridal blouse, we're sure you'll make the right decision!
